Yeah I've had a S4 poster on my wall since middle school and I still have a deep deep fondness for the show, I mean I'm reading fanfics for it still, but if you think that Eurus Holmes was a good and well executed idea I don't know what to tell you :')

Unstoppable force (I really really want to rewatch some Sherlock BBC episodes and my brain won't let me do anything else) vs immovable object (none of them are actually good and I don't want to go through that experience again)

#season one is okay enough. it does the job there are things i'm not a fan of there but it's watchable it's fine #season two is where it starts. i cannot stand a scandal in belgravia for um. obvious reasons #(whatever the fuck they decided to do to massacre my girl irene and the BOOMERANG???)#hound of baskerville is okay too i suppose especially compared to the mess of the precedent ep but you can definitely see issues starting #i'll be extremely honest i've watched the great game exactly Once because it just bums me out lol #like it depresses me. the handcuffed handholding isn't enough for my heart #and then the rest uuh. well all the mary plotlines are a huge mess and reading the summaries on wikipedia makes my head hurt #it feels like trying to read soap operas summaries or something. why did it exaggerate that far mofftiss!!#in general i tend to agree with hbomberguy's video on the topic. like okay not making it a series of independent stories can be interesting #you have to make that decision knowing what the pitfalls are but i can understand wanting to do something else #(even if steven moffat really is much better at writing one-off episodes than whole seasons. i'm also salty about dr who)#but the moriarty stuff is... apart from the queer coding it doesn't work very well #especially by the end when he's dead but not but he is but no but yes? like just find a new antagonist please pl-okay maybe don't if what y #anyway yeah and also just. if you're adapting sherlock holmes you should try to keep a certain coherency with acd canon #like if what you want is just loose inspo you can go the house md way! they're not Them so they had more liberties #but (and i love him okay) this sherlock is pretty different from acd canon holmes but in a bad way #like acd holmes is so. he's super endearing? like so very very endearing #there was a post about that but it all boils down to mofftiss (especially moffat) having a specific vision of geniuses and kind of fucking #i say moffat because the 11th doctor is the same and it's so weird and frustrating #and then last of all but the actual worse stuff (because all the rest you could ignore. it has been ignored by fans a lot)#they just fucking hate the fans?? laughing at people mentioning the fandom in cons. that whole thing before ep3x1 with the theories.#the queerbaiting. they just. didn't like us at all?? for some reason?? like babe you gotta tolerate us we're the only ones watching lol #i mean the fandom wasn't doing anything wrong (or mostly it wasn't) but in cons and interviews esp moffat acted like he hated them #which. cardinal sin. like jenny nicholson said if your ending makes the audience feel like idiots for getting invested it sucks #and the queerbaiting is really bad holy shit. atrocious.#that said i'm rereading some beautifulfiction works and excellent excellent fic from this fandom + i love the characters dearly #i say canon acd holmes or like granada holmes are super endearing but i'm sooo attached to bbc sherlock it's insane #the poster is staying UP on my wall. i made a sherlock inspired pottery skull okay. this show is not giving up its place in my heart #i just love it so much that it hurts when it's bad because we could've had it all babygirl :((((#wow i have a ramble tag now
